Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 277

"Phantom Claw!" someone shouted from the stands.

The impact triggered a chain reaction. The cracks expanded, and the venom, now more widely distributed through the Stone Lurker's interior, intensified its effect.

Rock fragments began to break off as the monster's structural integrity was irreversibly compromised. The stone surface darkened where the venom made contact, spreading like a network of black veins through the cracks.

Without allowing the momentum to be lost, the team executed a second wave of attacks. The rhinoceros charged again, this time from a different angle, its drill-horn penetrating even deeper. The cobra fired a new load of venom, aiming precisely at the weakened zones.

And Klein, without breaking the paralysis that kept the Stone Lurker defenseless, launched more Phantom Claws, each striking critical points in the monster's structure.

The final collapse was spectacular.

Vapor began to emanate from the countless cracks that now covered the Stone Lurker, as if it were melting from within.

With a crunch that resonated throughout the stadium, the monster's structure gave way due to its melted muscles. It disintegrated from within, rock fragments falling together and forming a pile of debris.

In the center of the destruction remained only the crystalline core, completely extinguished and surrounded by dust that had once been a formidable Bronze defensive beast.

The silence that followed was so deep that the soft scraping of the last rock fragments settling in the arena could be heard.

"Victory for Team Six of Group B," announced Yang, his voice betraying a hint of amazement even through his usual impassivity. "Time: two minutes."

A collective gasp ran through the stadium, immediately followed by an explosion of exclamations and applause.

"They've pulverized the record!"

"A full minute less than the princesses' time!"

"Did you see those abilities? That's not first-year level!"

Klein, still partially fused with his lion, directed a look of absolute triumph toward the stands where Liora and Larissa were watching. His smile, now adorned with slightly more prominent fangs than normal, was pure satisfaction.

Then, deliberately, he looked toward Ren again, repeating the gesture of sliding his thumb across his throat, but this time adding a mocking laugh and a "respectful" half-turn to "step aside" that clearly said, "your turn".

The message was clear: anything Ren could accomplish, he could surpass. And any advice Ren had provided to other teams, Klein's team had eclipsed with their status and power.

While the team left the arena amid cheers, Ren remained imperturbable.

"It was impressive," Taro admitted, his voice low. "But did they use all their cards in the first round? What's left for the individual competitions?"

"It seemed that way based on the mana expenditure," Ren nodded, a slight smile forming on his lips. "I think it's because they're desperate to win here... Or maybe that's what they want us to think."

Min looked at Ren with curiosity. "Do you think they still have more surprises?"

"I'm not sure," Ren replied. "Those aren't all the abilities their beasts have... But I'm not sure if they don't know or are hiding the others." _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Liu, who had been observing in silence, nodded. "Well guys, I'd like to see your turn... but you'll have to tell me about it because my battle is also coming up."

Liu headed toward the door, saying goodbye as he walked away.
